Answer to Question 1

 Two problems  may underestimate actual rates of disorders because numbers are usually based on random sampling of a population; may not capture relevant factors such as ethnicity, gender, SES
 Researchers  increase number in sample; compare numbers to other studies; repeat studies over time; identify relevant factors (e.g., gender, ethnicity) and include those in the sample
